Savewatch+2: the surprising children’s alternative

Insider sources confirm that on September 16, 2025, SaveFamily launched the Savewatch+2, a connected watch designed as an alternative to the smartphone for children. With its European artificial intelligence, secure WhatsApp and RGPD-compliant storage, it intrigues parents and experts alike. At €135, it could shake up the children’s digital market this year.

A watch to replace the smartphone

The Savewatch+2 is more than just a GPS watch: it integrates calls, videos, secure WhatsApp, Spotify, SOS button, health sensors and high-precision GPS. Unlike the brand’s previous versions, it works without an associated smartphone, reducing dependence on multiple screens.

Designed by SaveFamily, a market-leading Spanish company, it is water and dust resistant thanks to its IP68 certification, and is powered by a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor with double the memory (2 GB RAM, 16 GB storage). Performance rarely achieved in the children’s category.

Our field analysis shows that French and European families see this type of watch as a pragmatic way of delaying the first smartphone. The market for children’s digital alternatives is growing fast, in line with increased demand for parental security.

Direct involvement of children

Founders Jorge Álvarez and Natalia Expósito directly involved children and their parents in the design. According to SaveFamily, young users asked for more color, simplicity and musical functionality. This positioning differentiates the watch from other technological products designed solely by adults.

Beyond the design, the classroom mode is also very popular with parents. It allows connected functions to be deactivated during school hours, guaranteeing controlled, distraction-free use. This feature is particularly popular in big cities like Paris, where schools are concerned about over-exposure to screens.

A product designed for the European context

SaveFamily insists on one major advantage: all the watch’s data is hosted in Europe, in strict compliance with the RGPD. Parents can therefore be reassured about the use of personal data.

IP68 certification offers a level of resistance appreciated in children’s daily lives, between accidental drops and sporting activities. The quad-core processor and AMOLED screen deliver a fluidity rarely seen in this segment.

This solid technical approach, coupled with a safety philosophy, fuels the credibility of the brand, which has already won over almost 500,000 families in Europe. In Paris as in Madrid, this pragmatic approach is increasingly convincing.

“We wanted to break with the traditional pattern of design thought up only by adults.” – Jorge Álvarez, CEO SaveFamily

Awards and European recognition

In 2025, SaveFamily was recognized as the best European brand of connected watch for children. This distinction confirms SaveFamily’s position as anindustry authority in the face of Asian and North American competitors. It also strengthens its case for European manufacturing and development.

In independent tests published in September, experts praised the watch’s robustness and intuitive interface, pointing out that the absence of 5G connectivity was the only futuristic hindrance. For a price of €135, performance remains very competitive.

“Our mission was to combine security, privacy and ease of use in a single device.” – Jorge Álvarez, 2025

A fast-changing market

The trend is growing: according to the SaveFamily Observatory, 55% of European parents prefer to give their children a connected watch rather than a smartphone before the age of 12. While these figures should be treated with caution, they do reflect a real concern about the use of screens.

In Paris, some families see the watch as a solution for reconciling connectivity and peace of mind. The presence of the SOS button provides reassurance when out and about in the city, while the health sensors add an extra dimension to daily monitoring.

The Savewatch+2 model anticipates strong demand in Western Europe, particularly in the run-up to Fashion Weeks and major family events on the Parisian calendar. Technological solutions for children are now part of the social debate, just as trendy restaurants have a cultural function.

Certain developments are already envisaged, including the future integration of 5G and new educational applications based on adapted artificial intelligence. The Paris event promised for late 2025 will be a strategic milestone for the brand.
